Loan agreement: individual borrower; secured on financial assets

An agreement between a lender, who may be an individual or a corporate body, and a borrower, who is a individual person (not a company). Security given for the loan is some intangible asset like shares, or right to receive a debt or some other intellectual property. Third party guarantee provision optional. Strong provisions to protect the lender. Options for alternative repayment provisions and lender actions if borrower defaults.

About this secured loan agreement

This secured loan agreement is suitable for any company or human individual to lend to one or more people. (See below for documents for loans to companies). You could use it in a business or private loan situation. If you are the borrower, you have the opportunity to edit any point you would prefer not to include.

The purpose of the loan is not important. (But of course it is important that the purpose is specified in the loan agreement.)

This agreement allows you to use shares or other financial instruments as collateral for a secured loan. The security could be any intellectual property. In addition, we have provided for a third party guarantor. That is optional of course and may be deleted easily.

There is no limit in law on the interest that the lender charges. We have provided for a greater rate of interest if the borrower falls behind with repayments.

The agreement could be whatever you want to put in it, but we have provided a sound and comprehensive set of terms, many with options. It is supported by drafting notes so that you will know whether you can safely delete some provision. It is most unlikely that you will want to add new provisions, but if you do, it is easy. Our layout and use of plain English also make it very easy to edit by deletion.

1. There is always a concern when you are dealing with an entity based outside your country. First, you wonder how authentic it is and payment security.
2. The manner you have structured yourselves and marketing strategy is really uniform, seamless and user friendly.
3. The Borrower's warranties and security clauses as applied to an individual Borrower.
4. The realisation that the thrust in an agreement is based on simplicity, understanding and to capture what you agree upon. My view is that it may be necessary to include dispute resolution, if not, why.
5. Most definitely. It is easy to follow your agreement and at the same learn from it.
